The KNVB has introduced a new scheme that will see players be forced to sit out 10 minutes if they pick up a caution

The Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) is introducing a new scheme that will see a yellow card in the amateur game punished by a 10-minute spell on the sidelines.

The plans, which are to be brought in next season, will see players leave the pitch if they pick up a booking and return soon after, similar to the 'sin bin' in Rugby League, Rugby Union and Ice Hockey.
